Mrs. Kathy Lexen has her bachelor of arts in secondary English and speech communications from UW-Eau Claire and has a varied teaching experience, including working with at-risk programs, subbing, homeschooling, classroom teaching in brick & mortar schools, student advising, and, most recently, teaching middle school and high school English/Language Arts with iForward. This will be Mrs. Lexen's 5th year teaching with iForward and leading Drama Club. Her favorite part of this is getting to know the students and families and helping the students meet their goals.

Mrs. Lexen lives in nearby Frederic, Wisconsin with her husband, Kyle, and two dogs, and especially enjoys when any of their five grown children (three with spouses) or one granddaughter come for a visit. Besides spending time with her family and friends, Mrs. Lexen also enjoys gardening, reading, playing piano, traveling, and cooking.
